TORAH TIME | EP3 | Noah
Greg wades straight into humanity’s first hard reset. In this chapter of Show & Teller: Torah Time, he reads the story of Noah, the flood, and the ark, exploring divine disappointment, obedience, destruction, survival, and what it means to start over when the world feels beyond repair. It’s a story about judgment and mercy living side by side, about who gets saved, who doesn’t, and why rebuilding after catastrophe is never as clean as the floodwaters make it seem. Greg reads, reflects, and sits with the discomfort of a God who both wipes the slate and promises never to do it again. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly readings and commentary as Greg reads the entire Torah, one section at a time. 👤 Follow Show & Teller on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/show.and.teller 👤 Follow Greg Berman on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gregbermanisfunny
